375ml bottle. Almost opaque, mahogany colour with weak ruby shimmer and small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, slightly toasty and nutty, dark malty aroma, hints of toffee, toasted nuts, coffee grounds. Taste is roasty, slightly nutty, minimally spicy, dark malty, minimally caramel malty with low residual sweetness, slightly diluted hints of burnt caramel, toffee, coffee grounds, a weak touch of liquorice and sugar cane, some roasty and hoppy bitteress.
Watery texture, rather dry palate, medium, slightly foamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Not overly intense but sporting a handful of subtleties; not oll of them super tasty, though - quite nice overall.

Point in Sydney's oldest pub, Fortune of War. Dark reddish brown with a creamy head. Light grassy aroma, flavour is rich malt, nice change from pale ales

330ml bottle. Poured a clear medium brown colour with a short-lived frothy off white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, light nutty, light spicy liqouirce. The flavour is moderate to light bitter sweet, with a light, slightly watery, dry, spicy, caramel malt, light red berry fruit, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Explained to me as "the coal miner’s beer". Still pretty good stuff, mildly sweet, caramel, nutty. Brown body with small airy head, easy drinker.

On tap at Mortdale pub. Schooner of black! Very faint malt nose. Dark ruby red with thin but lasting head. Spritzy but robust. Clean bitter finish with a little coffee/cocoa right at the end. Brown ale? More like a dark lager, I think.

Mahogony in color with an off-white head. Toasted malts, molasses, chocolate, with lightly sweet fruit. Medium bodied. Pretty solid, really. Not what I look for in a brown ale, but I’d have a couple pints and be fine with it.
